Event Details

PAUL RICHARDS PROUDLY PRESENTS A CHRISTMAS STORYTELLING SHOW THAT WILL (POSSIBLY) BREAK YOUR HEART: A COMEDY

One very Christmassy man. Lots of stories. Far too many costume changes. Storytelling comedian Paul Richards ("immediately endearing.” – Heckler magazine), gets a bit excited about Christmas and he's quite keen to share this with you. Intentionally the most sickeningly festive show you'll ever see, this heartwarming Christmas story of all things Yuletide is Paul's most ambitious, excitable, prop-heavy show to date: expect drumming elves, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer on an exercise bike and of course the legend himself, Father Christmas, who has a confession to make. Okay, quite a few confessions...

Part stand-up, part musical comedy, part theatre, frankly quite exhausting. It'll all make sense by the end. 90 minutes of festive treats from a 35-year-old man in a onesie who really should have grown out of this by now.

We are a city centre venue and parking can be in short supply. If you are driving, please make sure you leave plenty of time to find a space click here for a map of where the nearest parking spaces can be found.

We recommend Kings Park Road car park:We are about 10 minutes walk from Southampton City Centre train station (head up the hill toward the Guildhall clock tower) and on the route for most city centre buses (the Unilink U1 stops virtually outside.)

Events are generally suitable for adults, young people and older children - children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, however. Young children are also welcome to come along but be aware some poems and songs may contain adult content (although we try to keep these until after children have left!)

Most events are held on our first floor, accessible by a wide staircase with a sturdy banner. Comformatable seating is provided. We regret that, due to space and other constraints, we are generally unable to relocate our events to the ground floor for those who require ground level access - so sorry.
